The system by which this was produced is running:<br /> <br /> * RT 3.4.4<br /> * [[SuSE]] 9.3<br /> * Apache2<br /> * Mod_perl 2.0.1 [TBD: check version]<br /> * Mysql 4.1.12 [TBD: check version]<br /> * Perl 5.8.6 [TBD: check version]<br /> * HTML::Mason 1.3101 [TBD: check version]<br /> <br /> Firstly, portions of this document was kindly reproduced from the original [[FedoraCore4Install]] guide. Thanks to the author for writing such a thorough document.<br /> <br /> = 1. OS Installation =<br /> <br /> Install [[SuSE]] 9.3 and select to install mysql (it&#039;s a recent version) and apache. Make sure httpd and mysql services are running:<br /> <br /> rcmysqld start<br /> rcapache2 start<br /> <br /> <br /> You may need to create files in /etc/init.d for this to work or use the chkconfig utility to add them to the appropriate run levels:<br /> <br /> chkconfig -a mysql<br /> chkconfig -a apache2<br /> <br /> <br /> To make sure everything is up up-to-date, it may be prudent to do an update of all binaries using [[YaST]]:<br /> <br /> yast2<br /> <br /> = 2. Exim Installation =<br /> <br /> Having correctly setup the server to connect to the Internet, you can now go and fetch the latest Exim binary or use [[YaST]] to download and install it.<br /> <br /> Follow the installation instructions and set Exim up as per your organization&#039;s standard.<br /> <br /> To start the Exim service use:<br /> <br /> rcexim start<br /> <br /> <br /> To add Exim to the different run levels, use:<br /> <br /> chkconfig -a exim<br /> <br /> <br /> WHERE IS THE REST OF THIS GUIDE? Yes where? I guess in my head since I have to guess the rest!<br /> <br /> = 3. Install Prerequisites =<br /> <br /> == a. DBIx::SearchBuilder ==<br /> <br /> I had to install gcc with yast before Clone and Want would install as prereqs for this package.<br /> <br /> == b. Tree::Simple ==<br /> <br /> One big gotcha that I have found is that Tree::Simple will not install properly from CPAN. This is due to Weak References not being allowed. The error is:<br /> <br /> Weak references are not implemented in the version of perl at /root/.cpan/build/Tree-Simple-1.15/blib/lib/Tree/Simple.pm line 9 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /root/.cpan/build/Tree-Simple-1.15/blib/lib/Tree/Simple.pm line 9.<br /> <br /> The solution for me was to do a force install of Scalar::Util (force install Scalar::Util) and then a force install of Tree::Simple.<br /> <br /> == c. DBD::mysql ==<br /> <br /> Make sure you have the mysql client and possibly dev. Next install zlib-dev.<br /> <br /> == d. MySQL ==<br /> <br /> Make sure to install [[MySQL]]-Max with Yast2 to get [[InnoDB]] support</div>
